Domino Art Challange

31 Days of Halloween
For this tag, I started with patterened scrapbook papers and paper tape. I used 3 dominoes, which I covered with alcohol inks and then stamped an image from My Mind's Eye Lost and Found Halloween clear stamp set. I added die cuts from K and Company,and the trick or treat candy is a 3 dimensional sticker from Martha Stewart. I added crystal and pearl bling and covered the dominoes with Diamond Glaze. I coated the bottom die cut with sepia Glossy Accents and added Halloween printed ribbons through the hole of the tag.

Day of the Dead Prayer Flag 2

I love how this flag turned out - the colors and the balance, just a skull with marigolds, simple and clean.  I really like how the colors worked on the marigolds by edging each petal with a darker shade of orange -so striking!

Day of the Dead Prayer Flag 1

I used paint markers to draw and paint this dod themed flag. I painted on fabric that was 100% cotton.  I researched images and skulls were definitely going to be included in all the flags. For this flag decided to add candles, roses and marigolds.

Domino Art Challenge

31 Days of Halloween
I chose day 13, "lucky 13".   I used a domino and a Rumikub tile for this one. I used alcohol inks on my domino before stamping the spider web image from the My Mind's Eye Lost and Found Halloween clear stamp set. I hand drew the spider and added purple bling to the body, then coated the whole thing with Diamond Glaze. I used Martha Stewart border stickers and epoxy stickers, she has a very nice "vintage feeling" line out this season and I was so pleased to see her new stuff. I added a mini clock to my Rumikub tile from Gray Burlin, and used Elmer's Painter's marker to color in the number 13 and added Diamond Glaze over the top for some shine. On my tag I used patterened scrapbook papers and washi tapes.  The "Happy Halloween" is a Martha Stewart die-cut and I used Stamping Up hardware to add ribbon to tthe top of the #8 tag.

Monster Halloween Bash ! Dotee

This dotee was created for a swap-bot challenge fo the Dotee's of All Kinds group. This dotee was to be inspired by a creepy monster that is ready to party. Spooky but fun, whimsical not gory. I decided to go with a mummy in a black tie. Glass e-beads for the tail and at the end of the tail a green glass with  the word Boo! on it.

"A Little Halloween" Dotee

This swap was a challenge from swap-bot with the dotee group called 12 Months of Dotee.  The challenge was to create a fun Halloween character using Halloween colors, trick or treaters, Halloween candy, jack-o-lanterns, etc... I decided to create a tricker treater dressed as a black cat. I used a sculpey push mold for the face and hand painted the facial features with acrylic paint. The tail is made of glass beads and the purple bead at the end of the tail has a black cat on in. I added an orange felt skirt and and orange Halloween ribbon around the neck. For the hanger I used a necklace that I picked up at a flea market and cut apart to harvest for beads.

Alice In Wonderland Dotee challenge - the Caterpillar

This is a continuing challenge in swap-bot with one of the dotee doll groups - Dotee's of All Kinds, creating the dotee version of the characters from Alice in wonderland.  This dotee is made of felt and hand sewn, the tail and hanger are glass e-beads. The tail end bead is a glass butterfly. I struggled to make this reminiscent of the caterpillar in Wonderland and all the pictures I could find had him smoking a hookah, so I hand stitched one on and was very pleased with the results.
